About One Person Company (OPC) – Incorporation + Compliance
Overview
A One Person Company (OPC) lets a single entrepreneur run a business with the benefits of a company: separate legal identity, limited liability and perpetual succession. It is registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
The member must be a natural person and an Indian citizen. Since 2021, NRIs can also form an OPC and the earlier turnover-based mandatory conversion has been removed. A nominee must be appointed who will take over in case of the member's death or incapacity.
Company Mitra's OPC package includes:
- DSC and DIN of the director
- Name reservation and SPICe+ filing
- e-MoA, e-AoA and nominee consent
- PAN, TAN, EPFO and ESIC registration
MCA fee is nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, while stamp duty varies by state. After incorporation, the OPC must file INC-20A for commencement of business, appoint an auditor and file annual returns.
